The question on the threading is the takeup spring on the tension disc, I am used to having something that the thread turns against after the disc and before the spring. I wonder if there is something missing.

Well darn, the motor was running fine last night but not getting anything this morning. And now I need to get to work. But just turning by hand it seems to make a good stitch.

Here are some more pictures.
